Reading the content that followed was even more impressive.

‘It would be of no use to take my blood and hair. But how could you do something like this so openly… .’

Haon put down the documents with trembling hands, feeling dizzy.

Although he didn’t say anything about dissecting it, it was obvious at a glance that he was planning to conduct various experiments with my genes.

I glanced at the Hunter’s expression and saw that she was busy whispering with the executives at headquarters, as if she didn’t know about this.

Haon became more and more anxious.

There is no technology here that can reliably detect mana, so even if I were to analyze my blood and hair, the results would only be similar to those of a normal person or an Awakened person.

‘Should I let you go right away?’

I couldn’t just walk into someone else’s laboratory knowing full well what scientists with misguided curiosity did to the human body as a test subject.

I felt the bodyguards standing like a wall watching me.

‘Oh, what should I do?’

While Haon was sweating profusely and hesitating, Chaser tapped his foot.

“… … ?”

I raised my head, wondering why, and he nodded to me at the door to the meeting room.

‘Ah. Right.’

Only then did Ha-on remember that Ju-yeol was standing outside the door.

Suddenly, I vividly remembered the reassuring words he had given me before I came here.

‘If it were Joo-yeol, I really think he would take me with him to immigrate.’

Thinking like that, I suddenly felt at ease.

Haon, whose tension had disappeared, opened his mouth with a giggle.

“Anyway, with the technology here, they won’t be able to discover any special parts of my body.”

“Wh, what did you say?”

“And as for me, I don’t think I need to visit other labs since I will do the experiments myself.”

“… … ?”

The expression on the face of the Minister of Science and Technology, who had been angry, became confused.

“I also have some questions about my own body. I can’t hand over my precious samples to other scholars.”

“… … Sample?”

Others, including the Minister of the Awakening Administration, had similar expressions.

“How can you treat your own body as a test subject… … .”

“But rather than experimenting with other people like ‘That Galaxy On’… … .”

“Even so, if you get to know him, isn’t he a person similar to ‘Eunhaon’?”

Everyone muttered uncomfortably, perhaps feeling a strange sense of rejection at Haon’s words.

‘What the heck? This is completely arbitrary!’

Haon was just feeling wronged.

Are you saying that you look at me with such disgust when I was the one who suggested that we treat you like a test subject?

But even the Hunter looked at Haon with absurd eyes, cleared his throat, and said.

“I understand that you are worried that Eunhaon’s technology may be misused, but you don’t have to worry about that.”

People’s attention was focused on the hunter.

“From this time on, Eunhaon has been hired as an advisor to the Hero Headquarters Engineering Team.”

“Yes? Me?”

Hunter’s eyes widened at Haon’s panicked voice.

“Oh, yes. Me, me!”

Haon quickly changed his words and nodded, saying that was correct.

It seems like they were chatting away with the executives at headquarters earlier and then came up with this method on the spot.

“The Hero Headquarters will closely monitor Eunhaon’s safety.”

And everyone’s expressions softened as if it was working. This must be because the Hero Headquarters is not a private organization, but an organization under the National Police Agency.

‘Whew.’

Haon felt relieved inside and pushed the documents from the genetic research center a little further away.

After that, the meeting was concluded after a long discussion about the support money from the hero headquarters that had moved to a new location and their own circumstances that Haon was unaware of.

As the ministers left the meeting room, they were startled to find the column and hurried their steps.

After seeing that, Haon decided not to go into detail about what was discussed in the meeting room.

“Brother. Do you know what the Minister of Science and Technology just said in there?”

Chaser ended up telling America everything in detail with a dumbfounded expression.

Joo-yeol’s eyes rolled back before Chaser could finish speaking.

“What? Blood? Hair? I think I’m going to rip out all the hair on those crazy guys’ heads… …!”

“Oh, no! It’s okay! The other scientists won’t touch me. Don’t worry!”

Haon had to desperately try to stop him by hanging on to his arm.

Two days later.

After finishing removing the traces of Chaser and Weaver’s awakening, Haon finally had the time to focus on reorganizing the old city.

Until then, it was mostly left to Chacha, Nova, and Dudu, but in areas 3 and 5, there were places where the ground had completely sunk, so Haon’s hands were needed.

That’s why Joo-yeol often grumbled that they didn’t have enough time to spend together.

Of course, even after confirming each other’s feelings, Haon also felt regretful that they could only see each other at night.

“Are you leaving already?”

Joo-yeol, who was tidying up the bed, pulled Ha-on’s hand.

Haon pretended not to be able to win and was dragged into his arms.

“The old city must be restored quickly so that the residents living here can return to their original lives.”

“Just one minute.”

Joo-yeol rubbed his forehead against Ha-on’s shoulder and hugged his waist.

There was no way to help it that Ha-on’s ears would turn red whenever he did this.

The two met at the District 1 office at night and slept together like before.

The idea was to create a small bedroom and living room/rest area in one of the office break rooms.

Joo-yeol still commuted to work from the Hero Headquarters dormitory by Ha-on’s side, and was extremely disappointed that there was no kitchen there.

There was nothing we could do, as Haon’s research lab and penthouse in the new city were left in ruins after being completely destroyed.

Although the research center needed to be rebuilt, Haon decided that reorganizing the old city center came first.

Three districts were burdensome enough, but now we had to manage all five districts, so we couldn’t just keep increasing the number of mechanical cranes.

No matter how excellent and kind Haon’s AI is, there are people who are afraid of the many artificial intelligence machines running around.

There was a need for people to manage the old town together.

Ha-on, who was fidgeting in Ju-yeol’s arms, checked the time and was startled.

“Oh, you really have to go. You have to go to work too.”

“… … .”

Joo-yeol, who had been looking at Ha-on’s face with regret, lightly covered her lips with his and fell off with a kiss.

“… … !”

As Haon’s surprised face turned bright red, he giggled and kissed her cheeks and chin like a bird pecked at them.

“Even though I do this every morning, do my eyes always get red?”

“Stop… … !”

Haon flinched and fell away from him, rubbing his cheeks roughly.

“It’s not just me who’s blushing!”

“Who said what?”

Joo-yeol smiled faintly, caressing the back of his neck that had turned red.

“See you in the evening.”

“Yeah.”

Haon eventually had to leave the break room again today while fanning himself.

Residents who lost their homes in Districts 3 and 5 were staying in temporary residences in Districts 1, 2, and 4.

Not only did the building collapse, but the ground also sank, so it seemed like it would take quite some time to repair.

There were also places that recovered faster than expected, and it was only a few days ago that they decided to provide some rent support to residents who had lost their homes and jobs and had no income for a while.

“The rent went up? Suddenly?”

And as soon as he met Chacha, Haon heard shocking news.

“Why did you come up here? There are still so many places that need repairs! The area where the restaurants used to be is still in ruins.”

Chacha shrugged her shoulders at Haon’s dumbfounded expression.

“You said you would give us 300,000 won each, so you’re asking us to add that to our support and give us another 300,000 won.”

“Where is that!”

“How naive. This happens even in the one-room villages outside the old city.”

Seeing Chacha speak so calmly, it seemed like this was a really frequent occurrence.

Haon muttered that it was nonsense and touched his forehead.

“I know nothing about these issues, but am I qualified to manage five districts?”

“… … Have you already forgotten what the old town was like?”

“still…….”

The image of the former bosses of the old town squeezing even the children was still vivid in Haon’s memory, but his worries did not go away.

“I guess I need to ask for advice. Should I go to Elder Solmae?”

“Aside from that inspiration, there is no one better to seek advice from at the hospital.”

“who?”

“Of course, Weaver.”

“… … !”

Haon, who had a sudden realization from Chacha’s words, immediately got up and went to meet Weaver.

However, Weaver, who was leisurely reading a newspaper in the hospital room, only gave a lukewarm answer to Ha-on’s worries.

“I don’t know because I’ve never received any support for things like monthly rent.”

“I, I’ve never supported you, but I’ve thought about it… … .”

Weaver looked at him in disbelief as Haon pulled a chair over and sat down next to the bed.

“That’s something the country should do in the first place. There’s no need for you to do it for me.”

“I know that, but they don’t provide any support to the old town.”

“Yes. Instead, they let you make money in any way you want within the old city. Except for the hero headquarters.”

Haon, who had become gloomy, grabbed the blanket that Weaver had covered him with and said.

“Can you help me out in return for helping me remove the aura without any side effects?”

“You should have come out like that a long time ago.”

“… … ?”
